Solve the system x+y-14=0 4x-y-11=0

We'll re-write the equations, keeping the variables x and
y to the left side:


x + y = 14
(1)


4x - y = 11 (2)


We'll
solve the system using substitution:


x = 14 - y
(3)


We'll replace x in the 2nd equation by the expression
from (3):


4(14 - y) - y =
11


We'll remove the
brackets:


56 - 4y - y = 11


-5y
= 11 - 56


-5y = -45


We'll
divide by -5:


y = 9


We'll
substitute y in (3):


x = 14 -
9


x = 5


The
solution of the system is the pair: (5 ; 9).

Can (sec x - cosec x) / (tan x - cot x) be simplified further?

Given the expression ( sec x - csec x ) / (tan x - cot x) We need to simplify. We will use trigonometric identities ...
